J upper median ; 12 curved at end and running parallel for nearly f of 
its length with the costa. 
Hind wing semicircular ; costa nearly straight ; termen and inner 
margin well rounded ; apex and tornus much rounded ; la straight, rather 
long ; 16 slightly bent ; 2 from beyond.J of lower median ; 3 from f dis- 
tance 2 to 4 ; 4 from and 5 from close to lower angle ; discocellular some- 
what oblique ; cell over J of wing ; 6 and 7 on a stalk of nearly \ of 7 
and from upper angle ; 8 connected with upper median by a distinct bar 
at |. (The venation of hind wing is fairly constant, though the distance 
of vein 3-4 and 4-5 varies a little, but these distances are never equal, 
or less between 3-4 than the distance between 4 and 5.) 
I am sure that adspersa is wrongly placed in the genus Lcelia, from 
which genus it differs in the palpi, the process of the fore tibia, the position 
of vein 6 in fore wing and of vein 3 in hind wing, and the connection of 
vein 8 to the upper median. 
Aurivill. also places fulvinotata in this genus, but I have not been 
able to examine this species, though I have no doubt that this able 
observer is correct. Aurivill. also states that this genus is the same as 
Olapa, l.c. p. 67, but he rectifies this in his £ ‘ Lep. Mad. and Comoro 
Islands,” p. 337, thus leaving Olapa distinct.

I have little doubt that the specimens I used for the description of 
this genus are correctly identified specifically, though I have not been 
able to get a reliable description and the fig. of Herr Schaff. is unknown 
to me. There is only a possibility that the species used is Holland’s 
setinoides, which is entirely unknown to me. Sir Hampson gives as dis- 
tinction between the two species, that adspersa is ochreous-yellow and 
setinoides is pale lemon-yellow ; as no standard is mentioned, however, 
this distinction is far from certain. 
The colour of my specimens varies a little, according to the amount 
of scaling, from baryta-yellow (IY) to pinard-yellow (IV), but even the 
darkest I could not call ochreous-yellow. 
The differences in size are also no indication, as the specimens I have 
seen range in the $ from 26 to 40 mill, and in the 9 from 42 to 51 mill. 
All the specimens of the different Musea were also labelled as 
adspersa.
